In electronic components, the term "Mount" typically refers to the method or process of physically attaching or fixing a component onto a circuit board or other electronic device. This can involve soldering, adhesive bonding, or other techniques to secure the component in place. The mounting process is crucial for ensuring proper electrical connections and mechanical stability within the electronic system. Different components may have specific mounting requirements based on their size, shape, and function, and manufacturers provide guidelines for proper mounting procedures to ensure optimal performance and reliability of the electronic device.

The "Mounting Type" in electronic components refers to the method used to attach or connect a component to a circuit board or other substrate, such as through-hole, surface-mount, or panel mount.

refers to the protective housing that encases an electronic component, providing mechanical support, electrical connections, and thermal management.

The operating temperature is the range of ambient temperature within which a power supply, or any other electrical equipment, operate in. This ranges from a minimum operating temperature, to a peak or maximum operating temperature, outside which, the power supply may fail.

Semiconductor package is a carrier / shell used to contain and cover one or more semiconductor components or integrated circuits. The material of the shell can be metal, plastic, glass or ceramic.

Parts can have many statuses as they progress through the configuration, analysis, review, and approval stages.

Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) is a standardized rating that indicates the susceptibility of electronic components, particularly semiconductors, to moisture-induced damage during storage and the soldering process, defining the allowable exposure time to ambient conditions before they require special handling or baking to prevent failures

In electronic components, the parameter "Diode Type" refers to the specific type or configuration of a diode, which is a semiconductor device that allows current to flow in one direction only. There are various types of diodes, each designed for specific applications and functions. Common diode types include rectifier diodes, zener diodes, light-emitting diodes (LEDs), and Schottky diodes, among others. The diode type determines the diode's characteristics, such as forward voltage drop, reverse breakdown voltage, and maximum current rating, making it crucial for selecting the right diode for a particular circuit or application. Understanding the diode type is essential for ensuring proper functionality and performance in electronic circuits.

the time taken for a circuit or measuring device, when subjected to a change in input signal, to change its state by a specified fraction of its total response to that change.

Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max) is a parameter in electronic components that specifies the maximum reverse voltage that the component can withstand without breaking down. This parameter is crucial for components like diodes and transistors that are often subjected to reverse voltage during operation. Exceeding the maximum reverse voltage can lead to the component failing or getting damaged. Designers need to consider this parameter when selecting components to ensure the reliability and longevity of their circuits.

Max Reverse Voltage (DC) refers to the maximum voltage that a semiconductor device, such as a diode, can withstand in the reverse bias direction without failing. Exceeding this voltage can lead to breakdown and potential damage to the component. It is a critical parameter in circuit design to ensure reliability and prevent failure when the device is subjected to reverse voltage conditions.

the relatively small electric current that flows through photosensitive devices such as a photomultiplier tube, photodiode, or charge-coupled device even when no photons are entering the device.

Active Area in electronic components refers to the specific region where active functions occur within a device, such as a semiconductor. This area is critical for the operation of the component, often containing the elements responsible for amplification, switching, or signal processing. The size and characteristics of the Active Area can greatly influence the performance, efficiency, and power handling of the electronic component. It is a key parameter in the design and evaluation of integrated circuits and other electronic devices.

RoHS means “Restriction of Certain Hazardous Substances” in the “Hazardous Substances Directive” in electrical and electronic equipment.
